(1) Make lrecord UID's have a separate UID space for each object.
Otherwise, with 20-bit UID's, we rapidly wrap around, especially
when common objects like conses and strings increment the UID value
for every object created. (Originally I tried making two UID spaces,
one for objects that always print readably and hence don't display
the UID, and one for other objects. But certain objects like markers
for which a UID is displayed are still generated rapidly enough that
UID overflow is a serious issue.) This also has the advantage of
making UID values smaller, hence easier to remember -- their main
purpose is to make it easier to keep track of different objects of
the same type when debugging code. Make sure we dump lrecord UID's
so that we don't have problems with pdumped and non-dumped objects
having the same UID.
(2) Display UID's consistently whenever an object (a) doesn't
consistently print readably (objects like cons and string, which
always print readably, can't display a UID), and (b) doesn't
otherwise have a unique property that makes objects of a
particular type distinguishable. (E.g. buffers didn't and still
don't print an ID, but the buffer name uniquely identifies the
buffer.) Some types, such as event, extent, compiled-function,
didn't always (or didn't ever) display an ID; others (such as
marker, extent, lstream, opaque, opaque-ptr, any object using
internal_object_printer()) used to display the actual machine
pointer instead.
(3) Rename NORMAL_LISP_OBJECT_UID to LISP_OBJECT_UID; make it work
over all Lisp objects and take a Lisp object, not a struct pointer.
(4) Some misc cleanups in alloc.c, elhash.c.
(5) Change code in events.c that "deinitializes" an event so that
it doesn't increment the event UID counter in the process. Also
use deadbeef_memory() to overwrite memory instead of doing the same
with custom code. In the process, make deadbeef_memory() in
alloc.c always available, and delete extraneous copy in mc-alloc.c.
Also capitalize all uses of 0xDEADBEEF. Similarly in elhash.c
call deadbeef_memory().
(6) Resurrect "debug SOE" code in extents.c. Make it conditional
on DEBUG_XEMACS and on a `debug-soe' variable, rather than on
SOE_DEBUG. Make it output to stderr, not stdout.
(7) Delete some custom print methods that were identical to
external_object_printer().

This directory contains C header files containing operating-system-specific definitions. Each file describes a particular operating system. The emacs configuration script edits ../config.h to include the appropriate one of these files, and then each emacs source file includes config.h. template.h is a generic template for system descriptions; it describes the parameters a system file can specify. General XEmacs Changes --------------------------- The following is a list of those changes made globally across all files. They are not marked individually in each header file. All other changes should be preceded by a comment /* XEmacs change */. 1. Removed all #defines of [read|write|open|close]. This is now handled automatically by checking the INTERRUPTIBLE_IO etc. flags. 2. Removed all instances of #undef SIGIO and replaced them with #define BROKEN_SIGIO. Jamie says: /* use BROKEN_SIGIO instead of this kludge -- jwz */ 3. All instances of HAVE_GETWD, HAVE_DUP2, HAVE_UNISTD_H, NEED_UNISTD_H, HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY and NEED_REALPATH removed. We detect these automatically with configure. 4. All instances of HAVE_X11 replaced with HAVE_X_WINDOWS. We don't support X10 or earlier so the HAVE_X11 define was purged. 5. Most of the signal crap (e.g. redefining sigsetmask, defining POSIX_SIGNALS) has been removed. There are four possible signal paradigms that all systems fall into, and we auto-detect them in configure and handle them in syssignal.h. 6. Removed references to INTERRUPT_INPUT. XEmacs does not use this bizarre way of reading input. 7. Removed references to BROKEN_FIONREAD. FIONREAD is used only in INTERRUPT_INPUT and in the select() emulator, neither of which are supported in XEmacs. 8. Removed references to NOMULTIPLEJOBS. This is unused in XEmacs and in FSF Emacs. 9. Removed references to HAVE_WAIT_HEADER and WAIT_USE_INT. They are unnecessary with the cleaned up syswait.h in XEmacs. (We autodetect sys/wait.h). Instead, #define or #undef HAVE_UNION_WAIT. 10. Removed BSTRING. Not used anywhere. (If the header file says there are bugs in bcopy() or the like, however, a #define BROKEN_BCOPY is added for reference.) 11. Removed #defines of bcopy, bzero, bcmp, index, rindex. XEmacs makes consistent use of the ANSI-equivalent functions memcpy, memset, memcmp, strchr, strrchr. 12. '#define subprocesses' removed. Use '#define NO_SUBPROCESSES' if they don't exist. 13. References to HAVE_VFORK removed. configure detects this. 14. Removed references to SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR, NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY, HAVE_SOCKETS, HAVE_SYSVIPC. configure detects these. 15. Removed defines of HAVE_TERMIOS, HAVE_TERMIO, and HAVE_TCATTR (when HAVE_TERMIOS was also defined). configure detects these and systty.h automatically defines HAVE_TCATTR when HAVE_TERMIOS is defined. 16. Removed SETPGRP_RELEASES_CTTY. Not necessary any more, with fixed definitions of EMACS_SEPARATE_PROCESS_GROUP et al. 17. Removed defines of NLIST_STRUCT. configure detects this. 18. Removed defines of _setjmp and _longjmp. configure detects this. 19. Removed all '#define static' business. Defines NO_REMAP instead. 20. Removed defines of HAVE_MACH_MACH_H. configure detects this.
